James Carville thinks the Republican Party is a threat to the United States because it s a Christian nationalist party, and that it s led to the creation of a Christian Nationalist Party. What does that mean, and why does it matter to him? And why does he think it matters to the rest of the country? The Daily Wire's Peter Bergen explains why he thinks this is a good thing, and how it could be a bad thing.

00:00:20.000Well, there are a lot of threats facing America these days.
00:00:54.000We're surrounded by ocean on one side, ocean on the other side, Mexicans to the south and Canadians to the north.
00:01:00.000But that does not mean that we are invulnerable.
00:01:02.000As the world becomes a more and more dangerous place as American power recedes, we will feel that everywhere from our pocketbook to our military budget.
00:01:10.000American hegemony has created a global economy that has paid off for the American consumers in extraordinary ways that can easily be reversed, and indicators are that it will be.
00:01:20.000A third threat is the threat of internal moral collapse.
00:01:23.000Indeed, this threat is the chief factor behind the first two threats.
00:01:27.000As our communities die, our local institutions lose credibility and loyalty, and we stop having kids, our economy turns upside down.
00:01:33.000The government grows, but the population that has to fund it doesn't.
00:01:36.000Government spending grows, but the population supporting that government spending does not.
00:01:42.000As the post-American future takes hold at home, it will similarly take hold abroad, with our enemies ready to fill that gap.
00:01:48.000That last threat is the truly frightening one.
00:01:51.000It's the reason for America's polarized politics.
00:01:53.000We used to share basic values, particularly at the local level.
00:01:56.000Now, those values are falling away, replaced with hatred and rage, largely at Christians and white Americans.
00:02:04.000Carville is a Clintonian political voice.
00:02:06.000In fact, he was the lead political strategist for the Clintons.
00:02:10.000He's a person who has routinely urged the Democratic Party to move away from its most extreme, radical, woke positions, understanding that they are electoral poison.
00:02:19.000But now he has apparently decided that the Republican Party in general is a threat to the United States.
00:02:24.000That it is what he calls a Christian Nationalist Party.
00:05:30.000And again, you get that special deal, puretalk.com slash Shapiro to get started.
00:05:34.000Now, James Carville isn't the only Democratic voice who sees traditional Republicans as the enemy.
00:05:40.000Carville says it's all about the Christian nationalism that is inherent in the Republican Party.
00:05:44.000But that's leaving aside the woker side of the party.
00:05:47.000That would be represented by grifter extraordinaire, Ibram X. Kendi.
00:05:51.000Ibram X. Kendi, you'll recall, is the author of How to Be Anti-Racist.
00:05:56.000His entire premise is that if you do not mirror the prescriptions of Ibram X. Kendi, then you are in fact a racist.
00:06:01.000And he says that his fellow Americans are generally white supremacists.
00:06:06.000I don't think white people worldwide have really reckoned with how much their own personal identity is shaped by constructions of whiteness and how much that construction of whiteness prevents white people from connecting to humanity.
00:06:33.000In other words, Recognizing that when you recognize that you are part and parcel of humanity.
00:06:47.000In other words, you're not over humanity.
00:06:51.000Okay, so white people are all emblematic of white supremacy.
00:06:55.000They are over other members of humanity.
00:06:57.000And this, according to Max Kendi and his ilk, this is represented by the Republican Party in the United States.
00:07:02.000This apparently will be the Democratic Party's campaign in 2024.
00:07:05.000Republicans are Christian theocrats and white supremacists.
00:07:09.000According to them, the entire Republican Party is dominated by a desire for white Christian fascism or something.
00:07:15.000The response, presumably, would be an alliance of the secularists and people of color.
00:07:19.000Not shockingly, that is precisely the coalition the Democratic Party seems to be wooing, running on abortion and quote-unquote anti-racism.
00:07:27.000They are pushing forward this agenda with ugly scare tactics.
00:07:29.000That is why the Atlantic magazine is dedicating its first issue of 2024 to suggesting that any vote for Donald Trump in 2024 is a vote for a fascist regime.
00:07:37.000According to official Obama jockstrap sniffer Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of that rag, quote, I encourage you to read all of the articles in this special issue carefully, though perhaps not in one sitting for reasons of mental hygiene.
00:07:49.000Our team of brilliant writers makes convincingly this positive case that both Trump and Trumpism pose an existential threat to America and to the ideas that animate it."
00:07:58.000Yes, according to these folks, if you vote for Trump, you have handed away America's future.
00:08:03.000This sort of messaging is also being promoted by Republicans experiencing strange new respect.
00:08:08.000That is the respect you receive when suddenly you start mimicking Democratic lines.
00:08:11.000That'd be people like Liz Cheney, who's mirroring the doom-mongering of the left.
00:08:24.000People who say, well, if he's elected, it's not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances, don't fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted.
00:08:39.000One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into a dictatorship in the United States.
00:08:50.000Sleepwalking into dictatorship, fascism, white supremacy, Christian nationalism, all the buzzwords, and all of it is going to materialize if Donald Trump becomes president in 2024.
00:09:01.000Now, ironically, this sort of alarmism is one of the very biggest root threats to the country.
00:09:07.000Countries in which both sides start speaking about how the next election is the last election, about how their political opponents, if they win, mean the end of the country, are in serious, serious trouble.
00:09:17.000That sort of scaremongering gets out votes because everybody freaks out, but it also sets the house on fire in the name of saving the house.
00:09:23.000Listen, I want Joe Biden to lose in 2024.
00:09:26.000I think he's a terrible president doing dangerous things that will be incredibly difficult to rectify.
00:09:30.000But the end of America is not, in fact, nigh in 2024.
00:09:34.000Not unless, ironically, everyone keeps saying it is.
00:09:37.000The closer both sides draw to the abyss, the more each party says the next election is the last election, the more that fantasy draws closer to reality.
00:09:45.000If you have two members of a couple and both of them keep saying, the next thing you do, I'm going to divorce you, divorce becomes significantly more likely.
00:09:54.000When you do the same thing inside of a country, the same thing is true.
00:09:57.000The country comes closer and closer to falling apart.
00:10:00.000When you see your neighbors on the right as people who are white supremacists, Christian nationalists, fascists, it makes it very difficult to live with those people.
00:10:10.000Conversely, if you're on the right, and you see people who vote Democrat, as such a threat to the nature of the very republic that we are part of, that if Joe Biden were to win the next election, it would be the last election, which by the way, no one believes.
00:10:23.000Donald Trump said the same thing in 2020, and then Joe Biden won, and guess what?
00:10:40.000Now, speaking of the 2024 election, Joe Biden is, in fact, in dire trouble.
00:10:45.000The current polling is really, really bad for Joe Biden right now.
00:10:49.000Again, there was no point during the 2012 race in which Barack Obama seriously trailed Mitt Romney.
00:10:56.000There was no point in the 2020 race in which Donald Trump had a serious lead on Joe Biden.
00:11:02.000And in this particular race, Donald Trump does have a material lead against Joe Biden.
00:11:06.000And things are only going to get worse for Biden because everything is pretty much baked into the cake with regard to Trump.
00:11:11.000This is why you're seeing the language with regard to Trump get more and more heated.
00:11:16.000It's very hard to add new information to the Trump system.
00:11:19.000Trump is such, and this has been true since 2016, he is a mud monster.
00:11:23.000The more mud you throw on him, the more it looks like mud.
00:11:26.000And then you throw more mud and he's still covered in mud.
00:11:27.000That means that even were he to be convicted of a crime, there would be a brief spike in terms of people outraged, and then it would immediately get absorbed into the rest of the mud monster and everything would go away.
00:11:39.000Joe Biden has been made to look very incompetent.
00:11:43.000Joe Biden has been made to look very bad, largely because of his own performance.
00:11:49.000I mean, in reality, Joe Biden's sagging economy has been quite terrible for him, especially among the groups he needs to vote for him.
00:11:55.000According to the Wall Street Journal, the pandemic made Americans richer across every racial, ethnic, and income group, but not equally.
00:12:01.000Home value shot up, with fewer opportunities to spend money during lockdowns, many people paid down debt, and boosted savings.
00:12:06.000Between 2019 and 2021, the median household's net worth increased 30%.
00:12:11.000The wealth of white and Asian households increased the most in total dollars during those years.
00:12:15.000But for many black and Hispanic families, the boost wasn't enough to lift them fully out of debt.
00:12:19.000One in four black households and one in seven Hispanic households had zero wealth at the end of 2021.
00:12:23.000They managed to make a dent in their debt.
00:12:27.000But those families are likely under greater strain now that many of the factors that boosted wealth during the pandemic have reversed.
00:12:32.000In other words, the economy has been particularly bad for black and Hispanic Americans.
00:12:36.000Those are exactly the sorts of people that the Democratic Party is counting on.
00:12:41.000What's more, the economy is, in fact, starting to cool.
00:12:45.000Inflation is coming down, but so too is the stock market.
00:12:48.000The stock market is starting to mediate because, of course, as inflation comes down, prices on bonds are going up, which means prices on stocks are comparatively less good.
00:12:57.000You're starting to see the unemployment stats creeping up so that that sort of sweet spot, even if we find it, it's going to mean an increase in unemployment generated by bad economic plans from the Biden administration and radical overspending.
00:13:12.000All of that is leading up to the election in which Joe Biden is going to be 80-some years old.

00:14:53.000So yesterday, James Comer, who's the head of the House Oversight Committee, he came out with the announcement that Joe Biden did in fact receive payments from an organization that was run by Hunter Biden, a fund that was essentially funded by foreign sources And belong to Hunter Biden.
00:15:34.000Now, Hunter Biden's legal team and the White House's media allies claim Hunter's corporate entities never made payments directly to Joe Biden.
00:15:44.000We can officially add this latest talking point to the list of lies.
00:15:48.000Today, the House Oversight Committee is releasing subpoenaed bank records that show Hunter Biden's business entity, a Wasco PC, made direct monthly payments to Joe Biden.
00:16:00.000This wasn't a payment from Hunter Biden's personal account, but an account for his corporation that received payments from China and other shady corners of the world.
00:16:13.000There was money that passed between this particular law firm, Owasco PC, which had received payments from a Chinese state-linked company and other foreign companies to Joe Biden.
00:16:28.000The three payments of $1,380 that occurred in September, October, November 2018 were apparently for a 2018 Ford Raptor truck that Biden had purchased that Hunter Biden was using, according to an email verified by a Washington Post forensic analysis.
00:16:42.000That doesn't actually debunk the charge.
00:16:44.000The charge that Comer is making is that money that was gotten, ill-gotten gains, from foreign sources were used to reimburse Joe Biden.
00:16:47.000an investigation. The truth is that Hunter's father helped him when he was struggling financially
00:16:51.000due to his addiction and could not secure credit to finance a truck. When Hunter was
00:16:55.000able to, he paid his father back and took over the payments himself.
00:16:57.000So what? That doesn't actually debunk the charge. The charge that Comer is making is that money
00:17:05.000that was gotten, ill-gotten gains from foreign sources were used to reimburse Joe Biden. It
00:17:08.000doesn't matter the size of the payments. That's not what matters.
00:17:12.000The matter is that this is now a documented instance of money passing from Chinese-linked firms to Hunter Biden and then to Joe Biden.
00:17:20.000It doesn't have to be that Joe Biden received this as like an on-top form of enrichment just because he gave a loan to his son and then his son paid back the loan using money from ill-gotten gains.
00:17:29.000It doesn't mean that Joe Biden has not benefited from ill-gotten gains.
00:17:32.000If I give you a loan and you go out and you rob a bank and then you pay me back that loan, I've still benefited.
00:17:40.000And so if you give me the money, I have benefited, obviously.
00:17:43.000A spokesperson for the Oversight Committee used the fact that the payments came from one of Hunter Biden's accounts to suggest something more nefarious.
00:17:49.000as quote, there is now a pattern of members of the Biden family using their bank accounts
00:17:52.000that have been funded by Chinese and other foreign entities to send money to Joe Biden.
00:17:56.000Based on witness testimony, Biden knew and participated in his family's influence peddling
00:18:00.000The checks and payments we've uncovered revealed Joe Biden benefited from them.
00:18:04.000But the Washington Post says that this is a an oversold story.
00:18:07.000They're misrepresenting the committee's findings and all the rest.
00:18:11.000Now again, I don't even understand what they're trying to debunk here.
00:18:16.000The thing that they're trying to debunk is pretty obviously true, meaning that Joe Biden did receive money from Hunter Biden's accounts, and those accounts were in fact getting money from foreign sources.
00:18:26.000The size of the payment doesn't really matter.
00:18:29.000Joe Biden has suggested he never received money from any of these relationships.
00:18:32.000First he suggested that Hunter had never done anything wrong.
00:18:34.000That turned out to be obviously untrue.
00:18:36.000Then he suggested that he had no knowledge of Hunter ever having done anything wrong.
00:19:32.000I have not seen that report, so I would have to refer you to my colleagues over at the White House Counsel's Office on that particular question.
00:19:51.000His personal foibles are obvious to everyone, and the more the media keep trying to talk past them, the more everybody notices them.
00:19:57.000There is a reason that Joe Biden is not going to end up debating Donald Trump in this election cycle, and it is because he actually cannot be on the same stage as Donald Trump.
00:20:04.000Donald Trump is a very alive 77-year-old, and Joe Biden is a very not-alive 81-year-old at this point in time, or will be by the time the election happens.
00:20:12.000In one second, we'll get to Joe Biden's foreign policy record.
00:20:15.000Finally, the perfect gift for somebody who has everything.
00:21:52.000Or does it make sense that you provide enough aid for Ukraine to actually be able to repel that invasion and then recognize what the realities are on the ground, which is that Russia has significant buildup in Donbass, in Crimea, and that short of going to direct war with Russia, which nobody wants, the final lines of demarcation were pretty obvious by like April, May, June of 2022.
00:22:14.000And yet Joe Biden never made clear what exactly his goals were in Ukraine.
00:22:18.000Instead, they just kept saying things like, as long as it takes, whatever the Ukrainians want.
00:22:24.000Well, the problem is that the Ukrainians had never even articulated a goal other than the complete liberation of Donbass and Crimea.
00:22:30.000And then the United States was not willing to provide the weaponry that would actually be necessary, like the F-16s that would be necessary in order to actually achieve air superiority, for example, in those particular regions.
00:22:40.000They've not been given the ammunition and armaments necessary to actually make that sort of thing effective.
00:22:46.000And so hundreds of thousands of people have been dying on both sides of this particular war in pursuit of moving a line that has not moved.
00:22:53.000This has turned into World War I trench warfare, essentially.
00:22:56.000And yet the White House is now proclaiming that if this thing turns into a stalemate, which it already is, then obviously that'll be because of some shortcoming in funding.
00:23:05.000Now, it's pretty obvious all along what should have happened here.
00:23:07.000Henry Kissinger spelled it out again last year.
00:23:09.000It was an unpopular point of view, but it happened to be correct.
00:23:11.000He basically said that the United States was going to have to make clear to the Ukrainians what the solution was.
00:23:16.000Namely, we'll provide you enough aid that you guys are not invaded again and that you can defend yourselves against future invasion.
00:23:23.000We'll provide you some sort of defense guarantee.
00:23:26.000Also, you're probably not going to enter NATO because if you enter NATO, then that is obviously going to project aggression against the Russians.
00:23:34.000You're not going to be formally admitted to the EU, at least not right now.
00:23:39.000And also, Russia is going to basically maintain the lines that they gained under President Obama, by the way, in 2014 when they invaded Russia, when they invaded Crimea and the Donbass.
00:23:50.000And then the United States was going to have to make that side deal with Putin and go to Zelensky and the Ukrainians and basically cram it down on them and say, listen, we're the ones who are signing the checks and that's the way this deal is going to go.
00:23:59.000Not because that's bad for Ukraine or Zelensky, but because it's good for Ukraine or Zelensky.
00:24:03.000Because Zelensky at this point cannot go back to his own people and tell them, I'm not taking Donbass, I'm not taking Crimea.
00:24:09.000He obviously has every interest in saying that he's going to take both of those things, but it's not really a plausible solution.
00:24:14.000And so instead, because the Biden administration did not have the stones to simply go and negotiate that deal and then give Zelensky the ability to rip on Biden and say, listen, I wanted more, but Biden forced it on me because Biden wasn't willing to take that hit.
00:24:26.000Instead, Biden is going to take the entire hit, which is going to be a consistent feeling of stalemate with no off-ramp anywhere in here.
00:24:33.000And he's going to be the one who pays the political price for that.
00:24:37.000So for his part, Biden and the White House, they're now trying to project all responsibility for that stalemate, not on their own failure to spell out a strategy in the first place or to recognize reality on the ground when it materialized.
00:24:48.000I mean, again, the United States tried to provide the armaments material necessary for a major winter offensive from Ukraine against Russia, and it just never broke through in any serious way.
00:24:58.000Instead, they are now trying to project their own failures onto Congress for not wanting to extend aid.
00:25:03.000Now, will Congress end up extending aid?
00:26:39.000Are you saying that any member of Congress who votes against aid to Ukraine is voting for Putin?
00:26:48.000I believe that any member of Congress who does not support funding for Ukraine is voting for an outcome that will make it easier for Putin to prevail.
00:26:56.000That is, a vote against supporting Ukraine is a vote to improve Putin's strategic position.
00:27:04.000That's not speaking to someone's motive, why they chose to vote against it.
00:27:08.000That's just speaking to the outcome of their vote.
00:27:12.000Well, I mean, it happens to be true that if Ukraine were to collapse, too, the Russians, of course, that helps Vladimir Putin.
00:27:17.000The question is, how do you come to an agreement on what exactly the United States should be doing here?
00:27:21.000The New York Times reports that the Democratic-led Senate is preparing to vote Wednesday on more than $61 billion in Ukraine-focused assistance as part of a $106 billion national security package that would also fund Israel's war effort in Gaza.
00:27:33.000But apparently, the White House is now trying to pressure GOP lawmakers to abandon border security concerns.
00:27:41.000So the Republicans are aiming for some sort of border security package attached to all of this, and Democrats are saying no.
00:28:10.000Apparently, a meeting in Brussels less than two weeks into the campaign illustrates how a counteroffensive born in optimism has failed to deliver its expected punch, generating friction and second-guessing between Washington and Kiev and raising deeper questions about Ukraine's ability to retake decisive amounts of territory.
00:28:23.000As winter approaches and the front lines freeze into place, Ukraine's most senior military officials acknowledge the war has reached a stalemate.
00:28:31.000This examination of the lead-up to Ukraine's counteroffensive is based on interviews with more than 30 senior officials from Ukraine, the United States, and European nations.
00:28:39.000And it shows that there was a gap between what the U.S.
00:28:42.000and Ukraine thought were actually possible.
00:28:47.000military officials were confident a mechanized frontal attack on Russian lines was feasible with the troops and weapons Ukraine had.
00:28:52.000The simulations concluded that Kiev's forces, in the best case, could reach the Sea of Azov and cut off Russian troops in the south in 60 to 90 days.
00:29:24.000Meanwhile, victory is well within grasp for America's ally Israel against Hamas.
00:29:29.000And meanwhile, the White House is sort of futzing around over there.
00:29:34.000So when it comes to Ukraine, they're like, gung-ho, all in, let's do this thing, unstoppable aid, no plan, unstoppable aid, no victory, keep that money pouring in or you love Putin.
00:29:45.000And then on the Israel issue, Israel actually has the military capacity to finish off Hamas.
00:29:49.000Israel has the military capacity to make the Gaza Strip, at the very least, quiescent with regard to anti-terrorism.
00:29:58.000And this is where the United States is putting its anti-focus?
00:30:00.000This is where they're like, no, no, no, you got to stop short?
00:30:27.000The situation on the ground is the situation on the ground.
00:30:29.000Meanwhile, the reason that the Biden administration Keeps futzing around with regard to the Middle East is because they are still under the John Kerry misimpression that Palestinians are central to Middle East peace, which is a lie.
00:30:41.000It was debunked completely by the Abraham Accords.
00:30:44.000In fact, it is specifically because that notion was exploded by the Abraham Accords and by the burgeoning relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia that Hamas tried to throw a wrench into the gears with their attack on October 7th.
00:30:58.000So what is the Biden administration doing?
00:30:59.000They're immediately doing Hamas's work by calling for concessions from Israel to the Palestinians and telling Israel to stop short.
00:31:06.000What is the rationale for that, other than a complete dunder-headed foreign policy?
00:31:12.000The problem for Biden is it's going to be pretty obvious that if you stop Israel from winning a cohesive military victory in the Gaza Strip, that's not going to look great either.
00:31:19.000I understand he's trying to please his radical base and Democrats are filled with radicals who hate Israel.
00:31:36.000And so far, Joe Biden is presiding over a lost war in Afghanistan.
00:31:40.000He's presiding over a stalemate that he refuses to declare a stalemate in Ukraine.
00:31:43.000And he's presiding over what could be a clear military victory for Israel, but is being hamstrung by the American State Department and radicals in the Democratic Party.
00:31:54.000First, The holidays not only allow us to spend time with family, they are a reminder of how important our responsibility is to protect them.
00:31:59.000That includes planning to secure their future.
00:32:01.000Policy Genius makes it easy to compare life insurance quotes from top companies and find your lowest price.
00:32:06.000Their license agents work for you, not the insurance companies.
00:32:08.000That means you can trust their guidance because they don't have an incentive to recommend one insurer over another.
00:32:13.000Your personal information is, in fact, kept private.
00:32:16.000Very important for my family that we have life insurance.
00:32:18.000You know, it's a pain in the butt, but it's something you need to do.
00:32:22.000But here's the thing, policy genius can make it not a pain in the butt and they can take it off your to-do list.
00:32:26.000It is super satisfying to check life insurance off that to-do list.
00:32:29.000A good life insurance plan can give you peace of mind that if something happens to you, your family will be able to cover mortgage payments, college costs, or other expenses.
00:32:36.000Life insurance through your workplace might not offer enough protection for your family's needs.
00:32:39.000It's not going to follow you if you leave your job.
00:32:41.000Since life insurance typically gets more expensive as we age, now would be the time to buy.
00:32:45.000PolicyGenius makes that process so much easier.
00:32:48.000With PolicyGenius, you can find life insurance policy starting at just $292 per year for a million dollars in coverage.

00:34:40.000Now, speaking of the Israel-Hamas war, this would be a great opportunity for Joe Biden to quote unquote win a victory.
00:34:46.000That victory would be Israel completely destroying Hamas, a despised terrorist organization labeled as such by pretty much every Western power.
00:34:57.000In fact, every day brings news of more of their atrocities, including the fact that they apparently drugged the hostages they were returning to Israel with roofies.
00:35:07.000So that they would look as though they were happier or calmer when they were released from hostage captivity back to the Israelis.
00:35:13.000In fact, the State Department yesterday announced that Hamas is not turning over a bunch of young women who are still hostages because they don't want those young women talking about what they did to them.
00:35:23.000One of the reasons they don't want to turn women over that they've been holding hostage and the reason this pause fell apart is they don't want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody.
00:35:34.000Now, one of the things that's been happening inside the administration is a bit of a gap between the State Department, which is shockingly, shockingly pro-Israel in many of these ways, and the Pentagon, which is shockingly pro-Israel, at least John Kirby is, and then some of the higher-ups, the people at the National Security Administration, for example.
00:35:51.000So, NSA Sullivan was asked about why Hamas was not turning over these women, and he said, we're not going to speculate, which is, you know, completely at odds with what the State Department spokesperson just said there.
00:36:01.000Why is Hamas refusing to release civilian women?
00:36:05.000I'm not going to speculate on that, only to say that they haven't done it, and only to say we're gravely concerned about that, but I'm not going to speculate as to their reasoning.
00:36:17.000Again, one of the things that the administration has been doing is waffling and wavering, which is amazing because when it came to Ukraine, there was no waffling, no wavering, no nothing, despite no actual end of conflict that was projected or expected or articulated.
00:36:33.000Here, it's pretty obvious what the goal is, and the administration is working to obfuscate that goal.
00:36:38.000Not only that, the administration is working really hard not to tick off its progressive left-wing base on this issue.
00:36:44.000And the somehow mistaken belief that in order to win over its left wing, And thus win the presidency, they have to throw Israel under the bus, which of course is ridiculous because by polling data, most Americans are much more supportive of Israel than, for example, Hamas.
00:36:58.000So if the administration played it the other way, and they said, Hamas has to go, Hamas is evil, Hamas committed mass rape, Hamas committed mass murder, Israel has to go in and do what it has to do, and we're going to worry about what happens on the other end afterward.
00:37:10.000If the administration were to say something like that, in the same way that they say it about Ukraine, that's a victory Israel would actually win.
00:37:16.000That's what's truly amazing about this.
00:37:17.000Meanwhile, you have Karine Jean-Pierre yesterday.
00:37:18.000She was asked about Pramila Jayapal, who's the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
00:37:22.000You'll recall yesterday we played a clip of her explaining that there needs to be balance with regard to how people talked about rape by Hamas.
00:37:30.000Sure, Hamas was raping people, but they have to be balanced in how they talk about that so as to establish a moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas.
00:37:36.000Here is Karine Jean-Pierre refusing to condemn Jayapal on this.
00:37:41.000Can I get the White House's response to Congresswoman Jayapal's comments over the weekend?
00:37:47.000In her interview, she said sexual violence should be condemned, but that we have to be balanced in our condemnation.
00:38:04.000And we've been clear what Hamas did is absolutely reprehensible and full stop.
00:38:10.000We're going to continue to be clear about that.
00:38:12.000And when you think about, you know, rape and the use of rape as being used as a weapon, that is also reprehensible.
00:38:23.000But why exactly won't they condemn Pramila Jayapal, or for that matter Rashida Tlaib, or for that matter Ilhan Omar?
00:38:29.000And the answer is because they're afraid of their left-wing base.
00:38:30.000The left-wing base is still governing this administration, at least at the margins.
00:38:35.000And that left-wing base is crazy, okay?
00:38:36.000Breonna Joy Gray, who is kind of a crazy person, she's the former national press secretary for Bernie Sanders, unsurprising, she tweeted this out, quote, Believe all women.
00:38:45.000She's talking about the rape of Israeli women.
00:39:17.000It doesn't matter, because again, the idea from the radical left is to re-establish this moral equivalence, and the Biden administration, for some reason, keeps on falling for it over and over.
00:39:25.000It's in the Democratic Party, and it's certainly in the media.
00:39:27.000Bernie Sanders, yesterday, did what he does best to establish that moral equivalence.
00:39:31.000He suggested that the Netanyahu government is being immoral.
00:39:33.000Now, you have to understand the coded language here.
00:40:00.000That's why Bernie keeps saying Netanyahu, because there is this bizarre notion on the left that if Netanyahu were not there, somehow this would be going differently.
00:40:27.000I'm talking about the West Bank since October 7th.
00:40:32.000And more than a thousand Palestinians have been driven off of their land in the West Bank.
00:40:39.000No, in the midst of all of that, I do not believe we should be appropriating over $10 billion for the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government to
00:40:52.000continue its current military approach.
00:40:55.000What the Netanyahu government is doing is immoral. It is in violation of international law
00:41:05.000and the United States should not be complicit in those actions.
00:41:11.000Love hearing about international law from communist fellow travelers.
00:41:15.000And when he talks about what's going on in the West Bank, he's ignoring the fact That there are a ton of terrorists in the West Bank.
00:41:21.000In fact, it was the amount of terrorism in the West Bank that drove Israel to, prior to October 7th, move many of its forces from the Gaza envelope right around Gaza in the lead up to October 7th into Judea and Samaria to try and fight terrorists in places like Jenin.
00:41:35.000As far as the accusation that Palestinians are being driven off their land en masse, Uh, no.
00:41:39.000The answer there is that there are a bunch of illegal Palestinian settlements that are, in fact, kind of corrugated iron shacks in many of these cases, and those are being dismantled by the Israeli military in many cases.
00:41:51.000If you build an extra bedroom in Afrat, which is like a really nice city in the West Bank, and it's a Jewish city in the West Bank, then this means you're violating international law.
00:41:58.000If, however, you prop up a corrugated iron shack in Judea and Samaria, and you call it historic Palestinian territory, and then the IDF comes and dismantles it, then this is somehow dispossession.
00:42:08.000In any case, this narrative is being driven by the media as well.
00:42:11.000The narrative that Israel is engaging in vast human rights violation despite the fact that they are engaging in more strenuous attempts to avoid civilian casualties than any army in modern history.
00:42:21.000By the way, worth noting at this point that all the casualty stats that are being repeated ad nauseum by the press are being garnered by the Gaza Ministry of Health, namely Hamas, and they are lying about all of those.

00:45:15.000And meanwhile, the media doing the bidding of Hamas over and over and over again.
00:45:20.000So Jake Tapper on CNN, who has been...
00:45:22.000Better than many of the CNN reporters.
00:45:24.000He sporadically has these interviews where he just says silly things.
00:45:27.000He had an interview with Mark Regev, who is a spokesperson for the Israeli government, in which he points out that a bunch of members of a family of a CNN producer had been killed in Gaza.
00:45:37.000And Regev points out that there were like weeks and months of Israel telling people to get out of the Gaza Strip, and millions of people did.
00:45:45.000And Tapper then says, well, you can't blame people who didn't.
00:45:48.000Well, I mean, you certainly can point out that they had warning and they didn't get out of a war zone when millions of people literally did.
00:45:59.000It's very hard to believe that, especially on a day when one of our producers lost nine members of his family, nine members of his family who are not members of Hamas, not members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, not members of any group, just nine people just trying to live their lives.
00:46:14.000First of all, I extend my sorrow to him and my sympathies.
00:46:19.000But if I saw your report correctly, and please correct me if I say something wrong, that happened in northern Gaza, in Gaza City, where a month ago we already asked all the civilians to leave.
00:47:30.000All the same people who are pissed off at Marjorie Taylor Greene with her silly Jewish space laser stuff seem to think the Jews actually have a space laser in Israel.
00:47:36.000And they can use their magic space laser to just hit the bad guys while leaving all of the normies sort of untouched.
00:47:42.000That is not the way war works and when you go out of your way to tell people to leave for weeks on end and then they don't.
00:47:48.000It's not that it's, quote-unquote, their fault.
00:47:50.000It is that they are in a dangerous area.
00:48:55.000That's because the Palestinians are living under the Palestinian Authority.
00:48:59.000They're a foreign population in terms of actual governance.
00:49:03.000That is like saying that when a crime is committed against an American soldier overseas, that person is tried in military court as opposed to an American civil court.
00:49:24.000The entire confused moral line taken by Joe Biden is likely to result in no victory for Joe Biden.
00:49:30.000Because even if Israel gets done what it needs to do in the face of American pressure, the Biden administration is now making it impossible for it to claim any sort of victory in all of this.
00:49:38.000Speaking of which, victory in the generalized area seems to be difficult to come by for a U.S.
00:49:44.000administration that is focused on basically appeasing Iran.
00:49:47.000According to Politico, An hours-long firefight involving U.S.
00:49:51.000commercial vessels in the Red Sea this weekend has left some U.S.
00:49:54.000officials frustrated by what they see as the Biden administration's deliberate downplaying of a major threat to American forces.
00:50:00.000Navy warship scrambled to respond to multiple distress calls on Sunday as Houthi rebels in Yemen launched missiles and drones against three separate commercial vehicles.
00:50:07.000The USS Kearney fired back, taking down three unmanned aerial systems.
00:50:12.000Four other officials with knowledge of the discussion said in interviews, U.S.
00:50:15.000naval forces are clearly under threat in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
00:50:18.000One DoD official said, quote, if our ships see something is coming near them or toward them, they're going to assess it as a threat and shoot it down.
00:50:24.000You'd be hard pressed to find another time that U.S.
00:50:26.000ships have been this challenged in the region.
00:50:44.000has retaliated against dozens of attacks by Iranian proxies in Iraq or Syria in recent weeks, including striking facilities used by the militants in both of those countries in Iraq and Syria.
00:50:54.000But, you know what the United States is not doing?
00:50:56.000It's striking any targets inside Iran where this is coming from.
00:50:58.000Now, let me just point out, if Donald Trump were president right now, there would have been a missile flying into Iran already.
00:51:02.000Not because Donald Trump would want to provoke some sort of broader war with Iran, but because the threat to the Iranians would be clear.
00:51:24.000officials are frustrated by the Biden administration's response to the attacks.
00:51:28.000The power of deterrence is going away.
00:51:31.000Former national security official said the Biden administration needs to do more to deter the Houthis from attacking ships in the Red Sea and other Iran-backed groups from launching additional attacks on U.S.
